MAMalody Posted March 22, 2016 Report Posted March 22, 2016 I am stumpted. I use ATX software. I have an individual who has donated a vehicle to Habitat for Humanity. They issued a Form 1098-C. I made the entry on the Schedule A line 17 worksheet and filled out the imput sheet for the donee information worksheet of the Form 8283. My quandry is how do I enter the rest of the info. The other worksheets do not allow me to enter the rest of the info for the donation, that is the Part 1Line 1 worksheets. I have tried deleting the form and starting it over. I have left off the info on Schedule A worksheet. No way to fill in the rest of the info. The only other thing I can think of is that the Form 8283 is not required with the Form 1098-C is present, but I am not sure I accept that. I think I am missing something in the software. Quote
Yardley CPA Posted March 22, 2016 Report Posted March 22, 2016 Mike...maybe this will help: Form 1098-C. You must attach to your return Copy B of the Form 1098-C, Contributions of Motor Vehicles, Boats, and Airplanes, (or other statement containing the same information as Form 1098-C) you received from the organization. The Form 1098-C (or other statement) will show the gross proceeds from the sale of the vehicle. If you e-file your return, you must: Attach Copy B of Form 1098-C to Form 8453 and mail the forms to the IRS, or Include Copy B of Form 1098-C as a PDF attachment if your software program allows it (see below for instructions). If you don't attach Form 1098-C (or other statement), you cannot deduct your contribution. Just fill in the amount on the front of Schedule A and then attach the 1098-C to the return. Quote
Abby Normal Posted March 22, 2016 Report Posted March 22, 2016 I've done several with no problems. You must be missing a check box or something on the 8283. Quote
MAMalody Posted March 22, 2016 Author Report Posted March 22, 2016 Yardly, that is how I remembered it. Thanks for the reminder, thought, I appreicate it. Abby, Hmmmm. Missing a box is my thinking. Maybe this morning I can find it. Couldn't late last night. Quote
